  • John Lewis 'up to 50% off' winter sale

    John Lewis 'up to 50% off' winter sale*

    Includes home, fashion, furniture and more. Likely to boost to 'up to 70% off'
    IT'S ON

    Website: John Lewis*
    Start date (online): Most deals launched at 5pm on Christmas Eve
    Sale strength: The sale includes discounts of up to 50% off home, fashion, toys, furniture and more, as well as various offers on a range of electricals. It also matches competitors' reductions.
    Likely to boost? Last year, on Thu 10 Jan, John Lewis added further reductions to its clearance, where we found discounts of up to 70% off. We predict it could boost its sale further in Jan again this year.

    Here are some examples we spotted on Mon 18 Jan:

  • John Lewis - school uniform from £23

    John Lewis - school uniform from £23*

    Online and in stores, available all year
    Ongoing

    You can get a full school uniform (ages 3-16) at John Lewis* from £23 online and in stores. Delivery's £3.50 and Click & Collect from selected John Lewis and Waitrose stores is £2.

    When we looked on Tue 2 July, selected uniform items were reduced in the John Lewis sale - so you may find you can stock up for slightly less.

    What do you get?


    Prices vary depending on size. Since several sizes are out of stock online, it's worth visiting a store for extra availability if you're able to.

    Delivery usually takes five working days.

    Important: If you live in Wales, it may not be possible to buy non-essentials at the supermarket during the lockdown and online shopping might be your only option. The rules are changing often, so keep an eye on our Life-in-lockdown guide which contains links to the Government sites for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

  • John Lewis: MoneySaving tips & tricks

    John Lewis: MoneySaving tips & tricks*

    Incl Click & Collect, haggling & sales discounts
    Ongoing

    There are always ways you can save money at John Lewis*, so even if there isn't a cracking deal out there that works for you, don't assume you can't cut your costs further.

    Ways to save money at John Lewis include:

    • £2 Click & Collect. Save on delivery if you're spending less than £50 by collecting your items from a store (find your nearest*). Orders of £50+ get free delivery, and £30+ orders get free Click & Collect.

    • Try haggling. We polled 1,400 MoneySavers to see in which shops they had most success haggling, and John Lewis shoppers had a success rate of 72% - so it's definitely worth a try if you're feeling brave. Read our Haggle on the High Street guide for more haggling tips.

    • Shop in the sale. John Lewis has a long history of price-matching its rivals, so watch out when Debenhams or House of Fraser has sales on, as chances are you’ll get similar discounts in John Lewis.

    • Check similar retailers, eg, Debenhams, House of Fraser. If you're not committed to buying from John Lewis, check for deals from other department stores such as Debenhams, House of Fraser and Selfridges, where you may find there's a better offer.

    • Had a problem with John Lewis? There’s a free online tool you can use to complain – it helps draft, manage and if necessary escalate your complaint. It’s offered by a firm called Resolver, which we like so much we work with it to help people get complaints justice – you can use it to complain to John Lewis*.

  • Board game deals round-up

    Board game deals round-up

    Incl £13 Articulate (norm £30ish), and free virtual games

    Board games are an integral Christmas Day activity for many, as well as a good idea for a gift with plenty of mileage, so we've rounded up the best deals on some of the most popular titles. Plus, given the current restrictions, we've suggested how you can adapt a few of the most popular games to play virtually. 

    The Government's guidance for staying safe over Christmas suggests avoiding playing board games with members of different households because of the risk of contamination, and only playing with members of your own household. So if physical board games are off the table for you, we've highlighted below whether or not you can adapt each game to be played over video call instead, and listed an app or online version, if this is available – though these may not be like-for-like to a physical copy. We've mentioned some virtual games and quizzes below, too.

    Most popular and highest rated board games

    We researched the best board games by scanning review listicles and best seller lists (see all our sources below), and collating some of the titles which appeared most often. The results cover both new and classic games, and varying levels of difficulty. For more about how to play each game, see our 'what's the gist?' table below.

Martin's Money Mantras

Before spending

If you answer 'NO' to any of the following questions, don't buy.

Skint? Ask:

  • Do I need it?
  • Can I afford it?

Not skint? Ask:

  • Will I use it?
  • Is it worth it?

Free protection for all shopping!


There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.

And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
